The doubts that have hitherto bung on the suc cession to the Throne of Russia, are at length dis pelled by intelligence from St. Petersburgh, an nouncing the proclamation of the Grand Duke NtessoLAs as Emperor. That a crisis so rema rkable should be passed without violence or bloodshed, were utterly improbable; it cannot, there fore, excite susprise to learn that the successive proclamations of two Emperors has produced a strong expression of resentment and resist ance frem the military adherents of CON STANTINE. According to -the statement that is given, it appears, that after Ntcnor,As had been proclaimed, the oath of allegiance was administered to the troops—but on that mark of obedience being required front the Regiment or CONSTANTINE, the answer, unn voce, was, Wo have already taken an oath of allegiance to one Emperor, and that we hold sacred—we do nut mean to take another." A scene is then said to have followed, such as was exhibited at the ex termination of the revolting Se poys a t Hai-rad-pore —the regiment of CONSTANTINE had to sustain the attack of• their fellow soldiers adhering to NlCHOLAS,—beneuth which they finally succumb ed, after considerable loss. Subsequently the individuals who were supposed to have excited the Regiment to resist were shot. This military effervescence was, however, suc ceeded by tranquillity ; the people took no part in the affair, and at the date of the advices communicating these interesting particulars, perfect order reigned throughout the Russian CuOW. Although our knowledge of these events is not derived from any official statement, little doubt is entertained by the merchants connected with Russia, of their being founded substantively in truth. We are hitherto so entirely in the dark,on the origin and true cause of the extraordinary coquetts of these Imperial Brothers, who in their turns have so coyly rejected a Crown, that it were idle to reason on the cause that may have finally determined NICHOLAS to yield the point. But for the immobility of CON' ST A N Eat Warsaw, hisconduct might have been suspected as the result of political finesse. Ilis presence in the Capital was so essential, had he &signed to mount the Throne of Russia, that ti settled resolution to resign his claim, could alone have detained him in a state of inaction in the Capital of Poland. The Roman Emperor Cox vrAeTtNe, whose name the Russian bears, was at York when his father died ; from that place he instantly took horse to Dover, and erming to Calais, rode day and night to Rome, and by his activity secured the Throne. The -next advises will perhaps shew whether CONSTANTINE can be considered to have been privy to the resistance of his Regiment at Petersburg)►, or what is of equal importance — W hether the ruling party betray suspicions of such being the fact. 11'Ir• ROTIIVCIIILn yesterday paid into the Bank 45 0 i 0001, in sovereigns.

The intelligence communicated by The Sim yesterday, received by way of liamburgh, re specting the proclamation of NI cstot.As as Em peror of Russia, is confirmed by the arrival of of official advices of the same tenour to the Eeg list! Government. These advices came direct from Petersburg!! to Amsterdam, by an express, and thence by the Dutch mail to London. The proclamation took place, as we learn, on the 2r6th ult. As the whole of the proceedings re lating to the succession to the Russian throne have been involved in extraordinary mystery, and the difficulty of obtaining intelligence of the events by which it has been brought into its pre sent state have never perhaps been exceeded, it may be allowed to repeat a portion of the gossip on the su b ject which has obtained in the best political circles.—Constantine, id is said, had, at the desire of his brother, the lute Emperor, placed his signature to a formal retsunciutroe of the throne, both for himself and his children, in favour of his brother Nicholas and his descendants. This renunciation had not been formally registered by the( Senate, but it appears that the Empress Mother was equally determined with the lute Emperor on see ing it carried into effect, and that all her art and intrigues have since his death been exerted for the purpose. When the intelligence of that event reached Petersburgh, the Empress Mother was de• sirous that Nicholas should ut once be procluitn ed his successor ; but Nicholas, who saw the dun gerous situation in which he would be placed should his brother Constantine refuse to confirm this step, insisted that Constantine at once he proclaimed, amid that his right to the throne should be solemnly admitted by the Senate.— ji deg proceeded thus frir,t he °tildel notification of both acts was conveyed to Constantine at War. saw ) accompanied by a letter from the Empress Mother, urging, as it is supposed, his carrying into effect his original renunciation of the throne in favour of his brother Nicolas. This letter is said to have produced the desired effect, and Constantine on the receipt of it dispatched his brother Michael to Petersburg)), with a confirmatiou of his renun ciation. This account, if it should prove to he correct, will be the most extraordinary instance on record of maternal influence and ascendancy. It is said that he always stood in the utmost awe of her, and that on account of this feeling, and the objections she always entertained to his mar riage with his present wife, a residence in the same city with her would be rendered ex. trernely irksome and disagreeable. It is given out, therefore, as one of the reasons which have indulged Constantine to confirm his renunciation of the Crown, that the health of his wife is so extremely delicate, that it would be impossible for her to reside at Petersburg)). The Empress Mother is said to be an ambitious woman, and that she aims at, and will obtain, considerable influence in the conduct of public affairs. The political education of the Archduke Nicholas is understood to have been under the direction of the late Emperor for a long time preceding his death; and that he has been trained for the s ame system of policy as he himself pursued.—( Times.) The celebrated new Novel Granby, which is so much the topic of conversation in the fashionable world, end w hick has been erroneously attributed to a Noble Lord and others, proves to be the production of a young Man of Fashion, of a noble family, and of considerable talents. The real author is THOMAS HENRY LISTER, Esq., son of THOMAS LISTER, Esq., of Armitage Park, Stafford, first cousin of Lord IttuaLEsnALL.

A Year—another yc:ar—has fled ! 11cre let me rrst .%i they who stand around the dead, And watch the funeral pile. This year, whose breath has past away, Once thrilled with life—with hope wits gay ! But, close as wave is urged on wave, Age after age sweeps by ; And this is all the gift we_have, To look around Lund die ! 'Twere vain to dream we shall not bend, Where all are hosting to an end. What this now waking year may rise, As yet, is hid from me :-- ",Cis well a veil which mocks our eyes, Spreads o'er the days to be ; Such foresight who, on earth, would crave, Where knowledge is not power to save ! It may be dark,—it rising storm, To blast with lightning wing, The bliss which cheers—the joys that warm ! It may be dOomed to bring The wish which I have reared as mine, A victim to an early shrine! But--be it fair, or dark—my breast Its hope wil l not forego;— Ilope's rainbow never shines so blest As on the clouds of wo; And, seen with her phosphoric light, Even affliction's waves look bright But I must steer Inv hark of life Towards a deathless land ; Nor need it fear the seas of strife, ' • May it but reach the strand IVhere all is peace—and angels comr.,.

LONDON SOCIETY, IN AID OF THU HIBERNIAN SOCIETY ANA TU IRISH I.VANGELICIL SOCII: T. The Annual Meeting of this Society was held yesterday even. ing in the Theatre of the Mechanics' Institution, Southern!). ton-buildings, Chancery.lane.—.loSEPU litlTTEuw °turn, Esq. M.P., in the Chair. The CHAIAMAN opened the business by stating theobjects: of the Society, which were, to receive subscriptions in aid of the Societies mentioned—the one for the promotion of educa tion among alr denominations of Irish poor, and the other for teaching and circulating the Holy Scriptures among the same class of indittuals in that country. The Chairman, stated that he himself had had ocular demonstration of the degraded state of the lower classes of persons for whom these benefits were intended, and he hail the pleasure of knowing that this Society was doing much for the alleviation of the moral degra. dation under which these people laboured, and that funds alone were wanting for the still further extension of the benefits which the Societies in question were affording to the peasantry of Ireland. He would not go further into particulars, which would fall more within the province of those who would a& dress the meeting in the course of the discussion, and who, from their connection with the Societies in question, were so much more comretent to give the desired information. Mr. WHEELER, the Secretary, then read the Report of the. Committee, by which it appeared that there were 1,147 schools founded by the Society, and that the number of children and adults educated therein amounted to 1141,000, that the Evan gelical Society had supplied 79 teachers, or readers of the Scriptures, and had distributed 1,789 Bibles and 22,509 Testa ments, making an increase on the distribution of the former year of 7,41011, the Society having circulated, since their estali. lishment, in 111111, 133,200 copies of the Holy Scriptures. . , The Rev. T. WEBSTER (S . cretary of the London Hiber nian Society) then addressed the meeting, and said, that he had to move that the Report now read be approved, and as, sued the meeting that the - Association in question had been the moans of affording to a large portion of • the .ptior of Ireland that information anti moral instruction, which alone could raise them from the degraded state in which they had so long remained. lie said every one must have felt the importance of- giving education to the.rising generation. The object of the Society was to extend the principles of moral edu. cation, not to any particular sect or denomination, but to persons of every belief whatever. He (Mr. Webster) then stated that the number of persens taught in these schools were 94.260, of which 12,000 were adults, and called upan the Meeting for their assistance to make this number still greater. The ex pence of a year's tuition, he said, was only 45., and each child or adult was taught to repeat, by heart, four chapters every quarter. The Rev. Gentlemen concluded with moving, that the report be received. . Mr. W. GI LBARD next .addressed the Meeting at some length, and entered into a strong invective against the Church of Rome. lle said it was true that the Pope had not the power now that he formerly had, but that the general character of the Roman Catholics was still the same. They still had their su. perstitious relics, and their miracles performed in the person of Prince llohenloe. He called upon the meeting for their as sistance and co-operation to enable the Society to send preachers into Ireland, for that he contended was the only way in which they could hope for success. The Gentleman asked what had become of Jerusalem—of Rome— of Constantinople—atd where were the cities of Egypt and Northern Africa? lie was for carrying the war, like Sevin, into the enemy's camp, and that could only be done by sending preachers to shorn to the people the errors and fallacies of the priests. Be ( Mr. Gilbard) • then adverted to the conduct of a priest which had been lately brought before the public, and concluded with seconding the motion that the Report he received. Mr. M'Doaroutan wished at this moment to address the meeting, but it was objected on the ground that he was not a subscriber, and therefore could not be heard in this stage. The Cu NM Nuot said that there were two other Resolutions to put, and when that was done. he. should have no objection whatever to hear the Gentleman, but as the Report and the Resolutions were for the decision of the subscribers only, that ' business must he gone through before lie could hear any person not in that capacity. At this moment a gentleman paid his subscription in order to be entitled to answer the charge which had been brought against the Catholics generally by Mr. J. W. Gilbard. After some con versation the two Resolutions were moved and seconded by the Rev. Mr. Evanson, Mr. Barber, the Rev. Daniel Stewart ? of Dublin, and the Rev.Thos.Gillaird,who in their turns took avtew of the objects of these Societiea,when Mr. ill`Donough entreated again to be heard, and was at length allowed to proceed, which be did amidst much noise and confusion. lie reprobated in strong terms the speech of Mr. J. W. Gilbprd, and found fault particularly with a statement in the report, which described a Catholic Priest as saying, that he did nut know more of the Testament than that part of it which was necessary to do the offices of his Cure, and wished, as this was said to be an ex tract of a letter containing the conversation, that the name of the individual should be given. The Rev. Mr. Wa:nsTE a said, that in his office of secretary be ,received :seventy letters from the teachers every month, and that lie could not recollect at that moment from which of them it came, but he pledged himself to give the information at a fu ture period, should any gentleman require it. The CHAIRMAN said that during the speech of Mr. J. W. Gilbard he had heard these words used, " that is false." Now, as he could not allow their proceedings to go forth to the world with such an observation unexplained, he trusted that the gen tleman who had used them would avow them, in order that an explanation might take place. 1%! r. IlSuaruY said that he was the person who had done so, and he pledged himself that in a few days a complete exposure of the foul calumny against the Catholic Priests would be made, than which a more base and malicious falsehood had never been promulgated. The Cuarnat.tx mid, that he now understood the charge in question had .appmred in a letter in - the Courier newspaper, but of which himself he knew nothing. Mr. Mu it Pit Y said he did he did not apply the term false to Mr. Gilbard personally, but to the letter which contained the statement. The CHAIRMAN said certainly he must say that he differed very much from Al t. ar I, and he had spoken to the gentleman near him as to the prof rl •ty of interrupting him ; he hoped, however, that the meeting would make some allowance for the temporary indiscretion which had been engendered in the heat of the moment, particularly when it was considered that their object was the good of their fellow-creatures, whatever the creed Might be that they professed. Mutual explanations took place between Mr. Evanson, Mr. Webster, and Mr. Steuart, and it is due to these gentlemen to say that their conduct was marked by a liberalty, frank ness and benevolence, which did them much credit.—At this moment a--labouring Irishman, of respectable appear sum, endeavoured to address the meeting, and, after sortie preliminaries, • was at length accommodated in form, by being handed upon the stage, where he ex. cited no small degree of merriment among the audience. With a strong brogue, but artless manner, he stated his case. He said he was from the county of Leitrim, and that he had suffered from the conduct of a priest who ha d if t l e it r ei s ic e i c )) ; )rrs t i e ei t ss l tt l e i td i o n i iilla b lv et ek , a te t ie r rp e erl l l i tg e . =At a with ex c ommunication exc 'Testament. omm s u r t h l i e cati described on this Testament after his demand to have It delivered up to him —as well as his sister, who also possesaed one, and that the priest at length committed personal violence upon him in con sequence of his refusal to part with it, and that he went to his employer and got him discharged from his work. Mr. Al` DONOCIII put several questions to the poor fellow as to the name of his employer, the name of the priest, &c. which he answered with RO nsuch readiness and point us to draw down the overwhelming applause of his auditory. The Cuautatast said the facts of the case were fully borne out by the statement of Captain Dtickworth, the Secretary of the Bible Society at Leitrim, as well as by the Magistrate before whom the complaint had been lodged when the assault was corn mated. The Chairman said that Capt. Duckworth bad writ ten to him, begging that he would obtain employment for the poor fellow in London, but that he, fearing he might sot be enabled to do so, had written to that effect to Capt. Duckworth. In the mean time, however, the Irishman found his way over to England, and he (Mr. Butterworth) . was happy to say he had been enabled to obtain employment for him, and thathe bore a most excellent character witk his present employers. Mr. WEBSTER moved the thanks of the 'Meeting to the Chairman, amidst great applause, and the Meeting broke up at ten o'clock. It was a custom among the Romans, every new year, to advise those who had been unsue. cessful to visit the Temple of Fortune, is hope of a change'; and those who had been successful, to do us they ply ased. In giving the same advice this new yeur, 'pt. it be remembered it is for the last time, as Lotteries are doomed to die by Act of Parliament, and there will then be no more ( fTw por i t , u o l u d i t i i d e l s , to t g a i rr n w a e i ' v E e w e h tit u y n TrheOr anti ifr:irf ty Pounds for a few Shilii iv i s , as in the present Scheme, containing Six Prizes of Twenty Thou sand Pounds, &Lc. &c. all to be decided iu One Day', Ist of MARcu, LONDON SESSIONS--(Tuts DIY.)

This day these Sessions commenced before the l4Oitb NAYon, the High Bailiff, the Recorder, and Alderman Smith, James Warner, senior, and .1. Warner, the son, were in. dieted for an assault upon 'Herbert King, under the fol.' lowing circumstances :--The prosecutor was a lodger in the house of the defendant, who Ithtl givp hint two notice, to : quit 114 apartment to which notices he paid nor the alight. est attention. Warner wishing to get rid of him, as be was destroying hir apartment, and .continually annoying the other lodgers, at length resorted to a method of for cibly ejecting his tenant, by rendering hii apartment un tenantable. To this end lie attempted one. Sunday to take the door off the binges, and on that occasion the assault complained . of was alleged to have been committed. There was a good deal of contradictory testimony as to which party committed the assault, but the weight of evidence being in favour of the defendants, the Jury acquitted them accord. ingly. The REcounica advised the defendants not to take such an irregular method of getting, rid of a lodger another time. &odorant Rubinson was indicted for stealing a piece of velvet from St. Saviour's Church, Southwark, value 10s. the property of the parishioners. It appeared that the prisoner had been detained by a Mr. Na. than, to whom he had offered the goods for sale, anti that it fitted that part of the velvet of the pulpit from which the piece had been stolen. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he found the velvet on the road from Salisbury. Verdict--Guilty—One year's imprisonnient to hard labour at Brixton. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

Lord ILtanwicKa, at his first setting out in life, was articled to an attorney, whose name is not mentioned. It happened one day that his mistress, (to use the expression) in want of ano. ther servant, sent for him from his office, and desired him to go to the next market and buy her some cabbages. " Madam," said Mr. Y., " I never bought a cabbage in my life, I shall certainly misspend your money." "N o mutter," replied the Lady, cc It is time you should begin ; and I desire you go, as there is nobody else in the way." Mr. Y. knew his mis tress's temper too well to refuse any longer, but at the same time, not willing to be troubled on any like occasion, he hit upon an expedient which effectually answered the purpose. Accordingly he received the money from his mistress,went out,and in about half an hour returned with his purchase. The next day he was to settle Nome accounts of ' disbursements with his master, and, among other usual articles, the following item appeared " Item, for buying a cabbage, Is. (34." Sth:ii an extraordinary charge necessarily induced sn tiniry on the nia*terin side, lint he was presently satisfo-d, on beim; hammed that, on such it day, his mistress called hint from the &lice, and ordered biro to buy her a cabbage ; but as he was willing to do his best, and had heard that the best cabbages were sold in such a mar. ket (int aning a market to which the coach. fare from his master's house amounted to the same charge), he called a coach, and diiving thither, made a most excellent purchase.
